BASE YOUR BUSINESS IN A FORMER OFFICIAL SEGA OFFICE SPACE!

In San Francisco? In need of a large amount of office space in a street that looks to be in a pretty “affordable” part of town? Don’t get too excited – it looks like someone’s already nicked the sign, unless it’s just been Photoshopped off the estate agent listing.

“I was in San Francisco earlier in the month on my way to a friend’s place, when I just happened to pass by the Sega of America building. I figured I’d try doing that “progressively getting closer to the focus of the image” thing you seem to like a lot.”

“The security is pretty tight; presumably to prevent people like me from coming in and asking them to make GOOD GAMES AGAIN. I doubt the overweight hipster secretary in the front even knows what VF5R is, since she’s too busy watching the latest Michael Jackson tribute videos on Youtube via her iPhone.”

“Just slightly ironic that Sega’s being advertised as AVAILABLE, when in fact they’ve never listened to their fans about anything ever.”

“Obligatory ‘I don’t know how to take pictures’ angle, complete with view obstructed by power lines.”

“It’s a sad day when the skies over Sega start to turn gray. I guess I’ll just cry myself to sleep tonight and wake up to swirls on carpets tomorrow- without Shenmue 3, VF5R, or a decent 3D Sonic game” -Alex.

SEGA EUROPE IN 3872 x 2592 “SWIRL ACTION”

Whoever’s in charge of the SEGA Europe Flickr page has a Pentax K10D, a camera rated as “Highly Recommended (just)” by everyone’s favourite erroneously-named camera site DPReview.

It’s capable of this:

“Sega Europe needs to take note of the Flickr action coming from their yank cousins. There’s rarely even the hint of a woman in sight never mind a bit of cleavage or a suspect camel toe. God, I’d even take some saucy pictures of Maggie Thatcher in a Dreamcast spiral bikini over Sega Europe’s mind numbing photo ‘blog’. Though reconsidering that, it’d make for a GREAT update” – Jonny.

A HUMBLING GLIMPSE INSIDE THE TOY FACTORY

What must these people think of our stupid Western ways?

Glad to have easy work where you get to be sitting down all day tinged with jealousy about people with such huge disposable incomes, we’d imagine.

SONIC-MANIA TAKES OVER YAHOO ‘PORTAL’

It’s the glory days of the 1993 European Grand Prix all over again.

“Here is the update of the year you’ve been longing for. I’ll link to it, but I fear it won’t be there for long. The article itself doesn’t feature the photo – http://m.uk.yahoo.com/ [YES, IT HAS SINCE DISAPPEARED]. Therefore, I took a picture of it using the ‘PrtSc’ key, which doesn’t seem to print the screen at all, rather uses an advanced internal camera to, in effect, ‘capture the screen’. See the attached png [WE CONVERTED IT TO A JPEG AS WE ARE ‘AGAINST’ MOST FORMS OF PNG] for your lossless yet nicely compressed looking at pleasure.

“I also ‘blew it up’ and did some filtering and sharpening to make it larger, giving you two pictures of increasing size for the price of one rubbish update. I have nothing further to say as I should have been asleep half an hour ago. Yours sincerely, Police Constable London (not a real police officer)” – Police Constable London.

INDUSTRY NEWS: DAVE PERRY EXPERIMENTING WITH STUBBLE

And judging by that look on his face’s he’s getting in the mood to do a bit of Wii development or perhaps something casual for the internet.

What’s happened to the other Dave Perry?

WHEN GOOD THINGS CLASH WITH BAD THINGS

Ulala 2.0 – a zip for a mouth to allow her to more easily accomodate penises, plus a zip on her tummy to enable easier extraction of built up reserves of semen without the need for invasive stomach pumping procedures.

Shame about the eyes.

Found while idly browsing Flickr. Ulala also seems to be the name of a quite popular internet rabbit.

ENEMY BUSINESS DOWN 18% YEAR-ON-YEAR

That’s overall. PS3 has seen an even bigger collapse.

PS3 SALES Q2 2008:  1.6m

PS3 SALES Q2 2009:  1.1m

We will leave the stark, bleak numbers to stand alone without accompanying imagery. Facts taken from this serious place, if you don’t believe anything that doesn’t come on a plain white background.

“SONIC’S POPPIN’ GROOVE”

If enough people simultaneously thought about things to do with Sonic The Hedgehog, someone would eventually think “I wonder what a collection of tunes inspired by Sonic The Hedgehog’s music – but not legally borrowing any specific elements – and recorded in an electro style would sound like?”

This.

Submitted by “Kristian” just yesterday, who suggested we save it for a slow news day. Kristian is obviously a bit new around here.

BAYONETTA WOMAN AT 2000×3008

Stakes dramatically upped by “Sebastian” and his Nikon D50!

bayonetta-2000x3008

Taken at E3. That costume’s going to be stinking by the time the game eventually arrives. No offence, sweetheart.

bayonetta-2000x3008-1

There’s still something not right about it. It’s like bumping into the dowdy receptionist in some sort of goth sex club.
